RoboCop 2 Plot Summary
What happens in RoboCop 2 from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Sometime after the events of the previous installment, Omni Consumer Products (OCP) concocts a plan to have Detroit default on its debts. This move would enable OCP to foreclose on the entire city, seize control of its government, and implement the long-planned development known as Delta City, a new community initiative. With the success of the RoboCop program, OCP accelerates its agenda. To facilitate this scheme, they incite a police strike by terminating pension plans and slashing salaries. However, RoboCop (played by Peter Weller), bound by his status as OCP’s property due to a secret fourth directive, remains on duty alongside his partner, Anne Lewis (Nancy Allen).
